Apparently they plan on becoming lawyers for the defense. From what I see on TV they are the ones who have better clothing, fancier cars, oh, and more smarminess.
High school guidance counselor suggested law school. First problem, no money. Later, I went to college on the GI Bill, while working straight nights as a cop. After that, I could only have been a prosecutorā¦ no interest in defense.
Current events demonstrate you donāt need āintelligenceā to become a lawyer, merely a lack of conscience. And arguing for ātruthā and ājusticeā is sometimes a far cry from arguing for āTruthā and Justice".
But, aside from the above snarkiness, I will point out that a good lawyer (yes, Virginia there is such a āthingā ā it is not REALLY a complete oxymoron) must be able to argue the finer points of a complete lie in such a way that it will convince other people of the merits of the argument, while avoiding the āslippery slopeā of descending into lies, yourself.
This requires, among other things, a complete mastering of the English language which, I will say, both young ladies DO occasionally exhibit, even at their tender age, but also requires a scholastic tenacity which at least Agnes seems to lack.
A āgoodā lawyer can convince a jury that a person whoās murdered both their parents, deserves clemency because that person is now an orphan, and thatās not an easy argument to make, under ANY circumstances!

Just be careful what politicians you get involved with. Ask Giuliani!

Good luck with that. Remember to leave your conscience at home when you become SMARMI as you will never use itā¦ā¦

Working for underhanded people like Trump you get disbarred, lose your license and may go to prison.
